If you have a Redwings store near you, leather shoe laces are free for a lifetime of the boots. You get new laces and they oil up your boots and keep them soft for you for free.

People usually buy two pairs, if they need them for work. So they can wear one of them while they oil your boots and change your laces for you. One of the perks of owning this brand of boot and it's made in America.

The English gave us the Brogue shoes. Americans brought the world, the working boot.

Redwing is pretty pricy, everyone I know that has them say they're worth it though. Some companies offer a boot allowance though, which is nice. I only ended up paying $30 for my steeltoes after my work reimbursed $120.

Amazon is good to buy almost everything. They usually have free returns and exchange. Just make sure the order is being fulfilled by Amazon and not some other vendor. For any type of footwear you should always go in store though, unless you don't mind the hassle of shipping and returning a pair if you don't like them.
